Chapter 136: Leaving the Guild

[You have logged in]

As soon as he entered the game, the notification came right up indicating that he had entered Azreal. 

He had a few businesses to take care of today which included leaving the God's Palm guild and also the class advancement quest he will be taking. 

And because Cold Mountain could easily report him to the authorities and notify the federation if he reaps the souls of the other members of the guild, he decided to not reap their souls. 

Well, at least for now. 

He still didn't know the intention of the federation but it was increasingly probable that they were trying to hide the truth from the public and get the game for themselves. 

This intention was revealed when they said they were going to fix the bug. It was most probable that they were trying to capture these 'bug' players.

So if he were to leave a trace as big as being friends with a person, he would be captured by them. Who knows what will happen to him beyond that point. 

"Hey Hydrogen! Are you up for today's raid?" asked Pruse, to which Cylius replied - "Actually, I have a thing I need to tell." 

"Oh, a thing?" 

"Yes, an important matter." 

Five minutes later, they met at their favorite coffee shop.

The coffee shop could be considered the place where they meet and discuss the matters of the guild. With the censoring by the system, the place was enough to be considered as a meeting point of guilds. 

...

Five people were sitting behind a table. On the table were drinks that their owners didn't seem to be drinking at all. 

They were just chatting with each other while laughing sometimes. 

Ever since he joined, another person entered the guild. It was a tank that was also lvl. 20 like him. 

He was known as Futian. 

However, all of it stopped gradually, and the whole group quieted down. Then, Cold Mountain broke the silence and said about today's announcement. 

"As you all already know, there will be our very first boss raid today. The first! As the monster - Silver Tailed Wither Crocodile, is of boss grade and has many underlings, it will be a challenging raid. However, if we can kill it, we would obtain many precious materials, including those that could help comprehend the three comprehensions! If we can do that, our guild will slowly become more popular and in the distant future, we might even be able to become a rated guild!" 

"Yes" all agreed. 

Then, Cold Mountain continued, inviting Cylius to say the important matter he was going to say.

"Then Cylius, what were you going to say?" ever since he had leveled up quickly, his status had risen in the guild. 

So, Cold Mountain of course put Cylius' matter first after the announcement. 

"I am leaving the guild today" the words left Cylius' mouth. 

He didn't look flustered nor nervous. Instead, his voice was calm and his words sounded very determined. 

Then, a period of silence ensued. The matter was just so sudden that made the people unable to respond in time. 

"What happened?" Gourmet asked after some time.

"A guild invited me" Cylius' answer was short. 

"Is this a joke?"

"No"

His words sounded determined, yet it also made one feel as if he was still hesitating. After all, he was doing a shameless thing by leaving the guild that had helped him grow for another. 

It was like stabbing the mother that had been raising him all along. 

"What do you mean a guild invited you?! We had helped you grow and even bought all the equipments you're wearing now! The guild has spent much on you, yet you're saying that you're leaving now?!" Pruse lashed out. 

"Yes, what do you mean by leaving the guild for another? Don't you remember when you were the lowest leveled among us, and we took you in?" Gourmet joined Pruse. 

Although his words were calmer than Pruse's, they sounded harsh as if he was judging a worthless person. 

All among this, Cold Mountain and Futian remained silent.

"Enough" the words of Cold Mountain came, which ended Pruse and Gourmet's drama. 

"What guild invited you?" after the silence, Cold Mountain asked. 

"First-rate guild Fire Pheonix. A member of them saw me when I was out leveling with the three of you" Cylius, who had been keeping quiet until then also spoke out. 

"First-rate guild Fire Pheonix..." the mention of that guild made the group once again go silent. 

"How much did they offer you?" 

"A chance to enter the Elemental Trial and the position of a second-rate official." 

This reward was a huge reward. Even a person such as Cold Mountain would be lusting after them not to mention Cylius. 

After sitting in silence for some time, Cold Mountain said - "Go. Go and never come back. Remember that God's Palm won't be accepting you anymore." 

The words of Cold Mountain were emitting coldness enough to make the average person go limp with fear. 

First came a rush of fear towards Cylius, then came the anger. 

Anger that his dignity had been damaged. He was a soon-to-be second-rate official within a first-rate guild, The Fire Phoenix! Yet, this unworthy leader of an unranked guild dares humiliate him?!

Everyone saw his reaction, and they weren't surprised. They even responded with anger towards his response.

*Slam!* 

"I'm leaving! You all better watch out for the Fire Phoenix guild" when he was leaving, he even made sure to anger the entire guild. 

"Who does he think he is?! He threatens the guild that raised him with another?!" 

"Yeah, who is he to talk like that? Did you see his reaction when he talked with leader Cold Mountain? I bet he was scared shitless then!"

...

As soon as Cylius left, the other members that had been scared by the name of Fire Phoenix guild instantly talked behind his back, expressing their anger. 

However, the person that was the main target of their talk was completely calm after leaving the coffee shop. 

He just put on his robe and left towards a particular direction, a bit of a smile revealed under his robe. 

Yes, it was all a play all along. A play that he had directed. 

Tsk. Did they think they were the protagonists? 

Did they think they would somehow reach the top of the world and then faceslap him? 

Who knows what will happen, but whether they reach the top or not, the fact that they amused him for some time didn't change.
